openssh-server is installed by default on Debian. I am pretty sure on
Trisquel 7 only the client (not the server) is there on a default
installation.
Not sure in which version it got changed. Looks like the bug is filed against
version 6 for what it's worth.
Thanks.
So, supposedly it is not installed by default in Trisquel 7? Only in 6?
I think this was a fresh install, not an update... hum... Might be mistaken.
Anyway.

I can't be 100% sure at this point, but I don't remember installing the
server on my laptop and it is installed (just checked). So I assume it was in

“prohibit-password”.
If this option is set to “prohibit-password” or
I am planning on doing that, though it really is not all important (I have my
firewall blocking access on SSH port anyway).
What worried me was that if this is the default, people are at danger when
making a fresh install of Trisquel, AND if it is NOT the default, I might
have done something
Delete SSH then.
I have a feeling that "StrictModes Yes" might stop it, though. No idea.
Hey.
So, following my issue of my laptop using too much CPU, I decided to take a
look at security and noticed that running RKHunter gave me a warning on SSH
login.
I noticed that /etc/ssh/sshd_config had these 2 lines:
"PermitRootLogin without_password"
"StrictModes Yes"
